1-0-17-2
Rashid Khan to Sanju Samson, out Caught by Mohammad Nabi!! Second wicket in the over. But the damage has been done. Both openers back in the hut but India are one short of hundred.

Hits the shoulder of the bat and goes straight to Sediqullah at mid-wicket, who takes a clean catch. Abhishek walks back disappointed. Abhishek Sharma c Sediqullah Atal b Rashid Khan 39(19) [4s-2 6s-4]
